THE GEORGE PARTY.

Some of the political journals are mani
testing uneasiness at the proposition of the
George-McGlynn faction to put a ticket in
the Presidential field and bid for the labor
vote. The fears are based upon the 63. 600
votes George received in New York city.
That basis does not justify the nervous
ness. Of course political sagacity will not
ignore the new party organization, but it
viii also properly value that vote of So, 600.
fuily half OF ii went TO Mr.. George out of
an enthusiastic desire to punish the New
York Democracy, and not because it un-
derstood the undereurrents of Georges s
theorles, or cared for them. Fully one
fourth OF 1t came from men who did not
then clearly understand Georges land fall
iacIes- They saw them as glitterine prom
Ises, but since then it has dawned upon
them that the promise was nothing more
and that analysis of the George doctrine
discloses its weakness and its hollowness
In Ohio and Massachusetts the labor o~-
CARNATIONS have refused to swear fealtv 10
Mr.. Georges doctrines, and fatty declined
to engage in his crusade upon property
rights. The Socialists have fastened unon
George, and he has become 50 alarmed
thereat that he eounsels direct repudiation
Sacramento daily record-union., 1887-08-09

has been felt In legislative bodies fearer
home and Il is fact that had these fre>
quent assaults succeeded, these properties
would have been in chancery long ago and
fallen prey to their Eastern rivals.
We cannot expect the Commissioners TO
enter into this feeling, for they are Eastern
men, out of an atmosphere of resentment
that anybody in California should own
railroad Or make money out of the incre-
ments of Government loan. The loan
itself, which these gentlemen are inyesti-
gazing, Is treated as question that has but
one side, and that the side of the Govern
ment, and the Government is the East
! But the fact is that the people OF California
are the most concerned in that loan. a
paper IN this city recently made fiippant
reference TO the discount of the bonds
and the interest upon it amounting to as
much as the cash avails of the whole
loan and equally fiippant comment has
been made upon the Fiji financiering that
has invested the roads sinking fund in
bonds at premium of thirty-four per
cent.
In the essence of both transactions the
wrong is done to the people OF California.
These bonds have to be paid out of the
freight carried between Sacramento and
Ogden. The railroad company pays it only
a. eh-S 9nAhhS ocAoC III WHICH lile 6OVerN-
ment pays the national debt The people
however, have first paid the taxes; so the
people of this State must first pay the
freights, and out OF these the railroad COM
pany pays the debt. So the people of Cali
fornia have to pay back TO the Government
IN principal and interest twenty millions
more cash than the Government loaned
and the people have TO pay the premium of
81 per cent on the fantastic investment of
the sinking fund.
The men who compose the railroad COM
pany will pass away, as some of them have
already. Vengeful pursuit OF their person
ality is the chasing of shadows. The per-
manent consequences are upon the prsduc-
ton and the people of the State. The
benefits have gone to the whole country.
The tens of millions saved to the Govern
ment ON the transportation of its property
and mails were saved for the benefit of the
millions of taxpayers. But the debt which
was. incurred that all these economies
| might inure to the benefit of the whole
people has to be paid by California. Talk
of bounties When our toilers have
wrought this colossal sum out of their
fields and mines. we will be the bounty
givers, and the Government and the people
of the East will be the beneficiaries of our
gift of millions.

WHEN the French newspapers attribute
non-approval of the Channel-tmnel
scheme to the cowardice of England, they
touch the raw. The Commons absolutely
fear that a tunnel beneath the Channel
waters would be to the gain of European
powers in case of a rupture of peaceful re-
lations between them and England. Yet
1t would be possible at moments notice
to break down the barriers on the
English side and food the tunnel in
half hour. 1t is absurd to suppose that
any European power would attempt
an invasion of England by tunnel route
one end of which would be in the posses
sion Of the enemy.

ROULETTE wheels and sweatboards on

city and Sandy Hook Open and fragrant
defiance of the law, and in broad daylight,

amazement. That is nothing. If the
Herald man will come this way he can
witness worse fragrant defiance of the
law, and in broad daylight, toor The
form it assumes is different, but more
vicious-!just as much so as the lottery is
worse than the roulette wheel. Further
on in the HeratGs editorial it is stated that
the Harbor Police captured portion of
the law-breakers and laid them up in iail."
